A device for monitoring athletic performance of a user has a wristband configured to be worn by the user. The electronic module may include a controller and a screen and a plurality of user inputs operably associated with the controller. The user inputs may include a user input configured to be applied by the user against the screen and in a direction generally normal to the screen. The controller may further be configured to generate one or more user interfaces in response to various user inputs and conditions. For example, the controller may generate workout mode interfaces and non-workout mode interfaces including various goal information, workout data, reminders and the like. In one or more arrangements, multiple types of information may be displayed simultaneously.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: initiate, based on an activity initiation event, an automatic sensor initiation process with a plurality of sensors for detecting performance metrics of an athletic performance and an athletic performance recording session for recording the athletic performance; receive user configuration of at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors, the user configuration indicating whether the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors is to be used during the athletic performance; detect a relative location of one or more sensors of the plurality of sensors causing sensor connection interference during the automatic sensor initiation process of the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors; provide instructions to a user to adjust a location of the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensor to another location away from the one or more sensors of the plurality of sensors causing sensor connection interference to resolve the sensor connection interference; determine that the automatic sensor initiation process is successful with the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors configured to be used during the athletic performance; determine a validity of a data set received from the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors configured to be used during the athletic performance; and in response to determining that the data set is valid, provide an athletic performance recording start option.
2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein determining the validity of the data set further includes determining a signal strength with which the data set was acquired, and comparing the signal strength with a threshold signal strength.
3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the data set is determined to be invalid when a specified amount of data in the data set was acquired with a signal strength below the threshold signal strength.
4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein determining the validity of the data set further includes determining an amount of data missing in the data set.
5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the data set is determined to be invalid when a threshold amount of data is missing from the data set.
6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the activity initiation event is a predefined time and date.
7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the activity initiation event is a detected location.
8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein prior to determining that the data set is valid for the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors, the athletic performance recording start option is not provided to the user.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein determining the validity of the data set further includes comparing a data signal associated with the data set to a predefined signal pattern.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein determining the validity of the data set further includes comparing a duration of a data signal associated with the data set to a predefined threshold signal duration.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the automatic sensor initiation process includes establishing data communications with a corresponding sensor of the plurality of sensors.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the automatic sensor initiation process includes insuring that consistent data is received from the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors for a specified amount of time.
13. A device comprising: a processor; and a non-transitory memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: initiate, based on an activity initiation event, an automatic sensor initiation process with a plurality of sensors for detecting performance metrics of an athletic performance and an athletic performance recording session for recording the athletic performance; detect a relative location of one or more sensors of the plurality of sensors causing sensor connection interference during the automatic sensor initiation process of the plurality of sensors; provide instructions to a user to adjust a location of a selected sensor of the plurality of sensors configured to be used during the athletic performance, to another location away from the one or more sensors of the plurality of sensors causing sensor connection interference to resolve the sensor connection interference; determine that the automatic sensor initiation process is successful with the selected sensor of the plurality of sensors configured to be used during the athletic performance; determine a validity of a data set received from the selected sensor of the plurality of sensors configured to be used during the athletic performance; and in response to determining that the data set is valid, provide an athletic performance recording start option, wherein prior to a link being established with the selected sensor of the plurality of sensors, the athletic performance recording start option is not provided to the user.
14. The device of claim 13 , wherein determining the validity of the data set further includes determining a signal strength with which the data set was acquired, and comparing the signal strength with a threshold signal strength.
15. The device of claim 13 , wherein determining the validity of the data set further includes determining an amount of data missing in the data set.
16. The device of claim 13 , wherein determining the validity of the data set further includes comparing a data signal associated with the data set to a predefined signal pattern.
17. The device of claim 13 , wherein determining the validity of the data set includes comparing geographic location data of the data set to geographic location data of a predefined activity route.
